Stacey and Thomas Woolf have put their 'perfect family home' on the market and will sadly say goodbye to hectares of space, modern living and a barely used man cave shed.
The couple have called the property at 75 Varro Rd, Lloyd Creek, home for the past four years, welcoming two kids along the way.
'It's been magnificent,' Mrs Woolf said.
'It's the perfect family home and we wouldn't be selling if we didn't have to move interstate.'
Set on 2ha, the property backs onto bushland, yet is only five minutes from the Humpty Doo shops.
The property includes a four-bedroom family house, a new shed, a pool and plenty of lawn space.
'I love the beautiful, modern home,' Mrs Woolf said.
'The cinema room is awesome for movie nights with the kids.
'The dining and living spaces open to the patio, so it's great for entertaining and watching the kids play.
'We've had a third birthday party and Christmas here, and we often have friends over for barbecues.'
The house has a double garage, covered entryway and a separate media room.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen area has sliding doors opening to the covered outdoor entertaining area, while the kitchen has an island bench and top of the line appliances.
The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite, and the remaining three bedrooms have built-in robes.
The property also includes a family bathroom, internal laundry and a second living space.
The floorplan of the home would allow for the media room and second living area to be converted into bedrooms as well.
Outside, the in-ground pool is fenced and sits just off the patio, and there is plenty of established lawn space and gardens around the home.
'We've also cleared the back of the land and built a fully-irrigated veggie garden,' Mrs Woolf said.
The huge insulated shed is less than six months old and has a separate brew room plus a veranda off the front.
Mrs Woolf said the property allowed her family to make the most of the Top End lifestyle.
'We live outside most of the time and enjoy the lawns, the pool and playing on the patio,' she said.
'We've only got one neighbour and the other side backs onto bush.
'We're keen runners, so we take the kids running though the bush a fair bit.'
The property is close to shops and schools, and is an easy commute to Coolalinga and Palmerston.
